do i need to spell it out for you?
facts:
performance per dollar with apple is weakest so if you buy non-apple hardware you get the most performance per dollar. over time software gets more sophisticated and if you use modern software eventually that computer needs upgrading. eventually the computer will be unbearably slow to you and you'll upgrade. it happens. so with apple hardware you're paying the most to go the slowest to upgrade again the soonest - laughable

you don't need a1 performance? the attitude continues ... dude if your computer is faster it will complete tasks quicker which means you spend less time waiting for the computer to react to your commands.

you willfully waste time and money and endorse apple hardware you're amazing i would never employ you

Let me clear up something for you MacFags.

I would rather build my own PC that I can willingly upgrade at any time that will run most operating systems than have to deal with the retards at Apple.

The problem with your Apple products is that after a couple years, you have to throw away and upgrade your shit or be stuck with lower end operating system. Why do you think phone companies always offer their customers upgrades? So you can stay updated, and so that you can stay locked to Apple products.

So I want to share you my experience with OSes in general.

OS X aka Mac OS:
It's fine. Usable console, sleek interface. Nice tools for development and programming, really love having access to a terminal in that regard. However, the rest of those so called features like iCloud et cetera kinda feel like bloatware the last few years.
In the past some of the best battery lifes (pre 2010) but now meh. No new innovations in the past few years too.

*NIX:
Mostly usefull for servers, embedded systems, iot (well except windows 10 iot core is used in most commercial stuff). If you use this as a normal user... well, have your fun, but I still find the lack of support for business applications and basic things really annoying. When it comes to servers thats totally different.
Huge personalization and modification utilities, definitly changed how we percieved modern OSes, but still not as good as people hype it.

Windows:
Not to say that Windows is the one solution to rule them all, but Windows just works. Used in every business, supports mostly anything these days. Shell/Terminal/PowerShell support still fucking weak, but they at least work on it these days.
So basicly this is the OS for grown ups in business, there is no way around it.
And I actually believe that Microsoft is on the right track the last few years in general, not only with Windows. And even on the Windows side they did a good job on win10, win10 iot core, (most likely windows 10 cloud presented on hopefully 2.5.17)
More features:
Gaming
.NET
Hello
Ink
...


So after all, it comes down to taste. Know somebody who will fucking call you and annoy you asking shitty computer related questions?
get him a Mac OS X

Geeky and want to do console/terminal stuff and gladly sacrifice support of applications and want to know how to compile stuff?
get a *NIX

Want gaming and business?

I've used both, professionally, in tech and design fields, and Macs crashed far more. I did like the OS, but it didn't run most of what I wanted. So I built a good PC, hacked OSX, and ran it. It worked better than most Macs, but ultimately, the OS was not even worth the effort of rebooting.

Is windows shit? Yeah, about 2/3 of the releases are. So I stick with the version that works well until a new version is proven.

>muh linux
Yeah, Linux is great. For servers. And for devices. But it sucks monkey balls for daily use. Maybe we'll end up with a usable Linux OS... someday. Like we've been promised for decades. But probably not. The problem is, Linux OSs are designed by Linux users. And they suck at designing UX/UI for non-engineers.

TL;DR: This really comes down to purpose of use and user preference.

Missing the point, which is:

>android and chrome OS
Which are for devices. Which I said clearly. They are decent, if not good, interfaces. They do the job for most people. But they do not run large-scale applications, and they do not replace the function of a desktop OS.
>>
Macs are good for general media. If you are creating media than even better. Great for art or music.

But Windows is the next step up. There are no gaming macs. Windows gives you customizability. They are for people who intend to make the most of their computers.

The fastest SSDs on the market cost more than the average computer. What is your point with this statement?

Windows is great if you like being forcefully updated into an OS that contains enough privacy violations to make it unfit for use in the medial industry due to certification requirements.

If you don't want 10 then enjoy Microsoft cutting off your security updates when you get a new CPU on 7 or 8.

Enjoy programs installing and littering shit all over your system instead of being sandboxed.

Microsoft. Cloud first. Consumer last. They are simultaneously driving people away from their operating system while porting .NET to run on everything else. Great business plan.
